Need idea help - fireplace wall
I am trying to find some inspiration for this wall. I don't like it at all and I feel like it just gets lost in the room.
Truthfully the only things I am drawn to have shiplap, mainly because it feels casual and cozy, but of course everyone says not to use it. This is our family room and whenever I search for ideas everything feels too formal.
The built in is super deep. My current thought is to make a cabinet on the bottom for the games keeping the depth, but then shorten the depth up top with open shelving that is more decorative. Something like this, but no tv. We'd make the cabinet taller.
But not sure about the rest and would love some inspiration, or maybe for someone to say just do the shiplap 😉
Oh, and we just finished this wall so style needs to match this:

Paint the back wall or wallpaper it.
Floor lamp:
Table/lamp
Wondering, what room is behind it?Would it serve you better if you closed it up and accessed the space from the other side?
For instance dining room:

Comments (3)What will the mirrors reflect? Will they double something beautiful or interesting? If not, then ditch that idea and just get some new canvases to change the ambiance. I always opt for art rather than mirrors, especially in dining rooms....See Moreneed art ideas for both wall sides next to my fireplace!
Comments (8)That TV is such a behemoth that it overwhelms the space. It's stealing all the attention and obscuring the pretty details of the molding above the fireplace. You'd need some pretty large elements on either side to balance it. Small art pieces would be lost and unable to compete with it. Or maybe it looks gigantic because your chairs are rather low and compact - if I were you, I'd look for large wingbacks and upholster them in a large-scale, high-contrast print. I've always heard it's a decorating no-no to put the TV above a fireplace, but in some spaces that *seems* like the only option. However, I am sure you have other options for its placement. It really shouldn't be where it is. Can you post some pics of the rest of the room?...See Morefireplace ideas . need help!!
Comments (1)You have some ideas you want to incorporate into the room and the TV size is really fighting your ideas. This is a case of trying to put a square peg into a round hole. If you're going to install that large a TV, then you might want to consider a linear fireplace instead of the standard fireplace size because those big TVs look terrible over the small fireplace openings. I've altered one of your photos to illustrate making the wall large enough to accommodate the TV and the FP along with it. To me, the arches doen't work, but that's your call. This concept below with the shelf/mantel that extends across is the only successful combination I have seen that combines a standard FP with a larger screen TV Here is a large TV with fireplace and bookshelves on either side....See MoreNeed help with fireplace wall ideas.
Comments (5)First, that is likely a STONE veneer on the wall. If you don't like it you have to remove it. Or you could paint it. You can also remove part of the stone and add a timber mantel to the FP Here are the steps to get the stone off and the surround installed....See Morebtydrvn

2 years agoCan you open up the wall on the other side and make it into a closet, then close the wall in the family room?
Here's how that might look:
